LAS VEGAS — Randy Couture took part of New Jersey's dissent to proposed rule changes personally.
The UFC Hall of Famer spoke out at the Association of Boxing Commissions (ABC) Conference on Tuesday after New Jersey State Athletic Control Board (NJSACB) deputy commissioner Rhonda Uttley-Herring presented the state's case against two proposed MMA Unified Rules amendments.
Couture, a member of the ABC's MMA rules and regulations committee that recommended the new rules, took particular umbrage with Uttley-Herring's comments about some fighters not wanting regulation.
"Obviously, I fought in New Jersey, I fought in your great state," Couture said at the podium after Uttley-Herring's presentation.
